Day 10, the forest is growing strong...

It's day 10, the basil are showing signs of strong growth. Added 1litre( about 2pints) of water at a  PH5.4 when I felt the rock wool was a little too dry. I will probably go n get hydrometer soon so i can check accurately.
Other than that. It was all left to their own devices...
I am thinking when to add the nutrient solution. Does anyone know if its useful at this stage?

Most of the seeds have sprouted by now. Just 3 are completely quiet.  I will add some more seeds into those and recycle. 

As you can see.. Mostly they are very robust... Especially the Basil Genovese,  Except for The opal basil.. Those are not doing so well.  The other basil varieties are mostly doing ok. My ambient humidity meter has not arrived yet.... 
Look at the plant in the foreground. Looks like the leaves are drying out. Well.. Will hope for the best. In a few days time I guess they will be ready for transfer into their proper habitat.. If I can get around to fixing that contraption....
